has proudly served over 80 schools in Connecticut and Massachusetts for
more than 30 years. We employ high school and college students in the Springfield, MA and Bridgeport CT areas. When you purchase from Blakes, you are not only getting the best quality merchandise available, you are also supporting your local economy. We know your needs. Our
trained staff provides personalized service at our fully stocked store
locations. With the launch of our new online store, we provide the convenience
